Vince Gill We Could Have Been song lyrics

(Don Cook - John Jarvis)

Today at work I overheard a name

I knew it wasn't yours but it touched me just the same

It felt so good to have you in my mind

I guess I'm the sentimental kind.

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.

You were so brave when I was shy

I made you laugh when, somethin' made you cry

And I don't think we ever said goodbye

Now I'll always wonder why.

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.

A time or two I thought about calling

But something always gets in the way

Maybe I'm afraid you'd really answer

What would I say to you?

Oh, I wonder who you became

Did you change the world or play the game

We came so close to love back then

We could have been.

We could have been...
